Clic Air Baggage Policy and Luggage Rules
Clic Air, formerly known as EasyFly, operates a regional domestic flight network across Colombia. Because the airline flies turboprop aircraft such as the ATR 42 and ATR 72, luggage rules are stricter than those on large commercial jets. Overhead bins are compact, and regional cargo holds face tight weight limits.
Clic Air allows each passenger one small cabin item up to 5 kg (11 lbs) that must fit under the seat or in the overhead rack. Standard fares include one checked bag up to 15 kg (33 lbs), while promotional fares exclude hold luggage. Overweight luggage is billed per additional kilogram in Colombian Pesos, subject to aircraft payload capacity. Check your booking confirmation before heading to the airport.
Baggage Allowance Snapshot
Clic Air limits carry-on luggage to a single 5 kg personal piece and restricts standard checked bags to 15 kg. All excess weight is subject to turboprop aircraft capacity limits.
What can change: Fare class, specific regional route restrictions, weather-related payload limits, and booking channel.

Official Source Verification
Baggage rules can vary by fare, cabin, route, operating carrier, traveler status, and purchase channel. BaggageBase separates published rules from practical guidance.
How BaggageBase Checks This Information
BaggageBase monitors Clic Air tariff sheets, published fare bundles, and Colombian civil aviation requirements set by Aeronáutica Civil (Aerocivil). We cross-reference operational aircraft manuals for ATR equipment to explain cabin space limits.
While core allowances (5 kg cabin item and 15 kg checked baggage) are standard across Clic Air services, specific ancillary fees and individual per-kilo excess rates fluctuate in Colombian Pesos (COP). We highlight confirmed structural rules while noting items that require verification in your live booking record.
Cabin Baggage and Personal Item Rules
Clic Air enforces a single cabin item policy. Every ticketed passenger can bring one small piece weighing up to 5 kg (11 lbs). This piece serves as your personal item and must be stowed beneath the seat directly in front of you or in the overhead bins.
The airline operates ATR 42 and ATR 72 turboprop aircraft. The overhead storage compartments on these planes are much shallower and narrower than those on standard Airbus or Boeing jetliners. Standard 22-inch rollaboard suitcases will not fit into the bins. If you bring a standard wheeled carry-on to the boarding gate, airport personnel will tag it and place it into the cargo hold.
To review how this compact allowance compares to other domestic and international airlines, review our airline carry-on size comparison.
| Item | Allowance | Size or fit rule | Important condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cabin / Personal Item | 1 piece up to 5 kg (11 lbs) | Fits ATR compartment / under seat (~40 x 35 x 20 cm) | Must hold all medications and lithium batteries |
| Standard Overhead Rollaboard | Not permitted in cabin | Exceeds ATR overhead bin depth | Must be checked at ticket counter or gate |
Because cabin space is limited, choose a soft-sided backpack or duffel bag over a rigid hard-shell case. Soft bags compress easily into the narrow overhead bins or under the passenger seat.
Checked Baggage Allowances and Fare Types
Most major airlines operating jet aircraft in South America set their base checked weight limit at 23 kg (50 lbs). Clic Air is different: its baseline checked luggage limit is 15 kg (33 lbs) per bag. This reduced weight limit keeps regional turboprop aircraft within safe takeoff weights on short runways.
Total exterior dimensions for a checked piece cannot exceed 158 linear centimeters (62.2 linear inches), which is the sum of length, width, and height.
Your checked baggage allowance depends directly on the fare family purchased:
- Promotional / Light Fares: These low-cost fares include only the 5 kg cabin item. Checked baggage is not included and must be purchased as an extra service.
- Standard / Classic / Flexible Fares: These fares include one checked bag up to 15 kg (33 lbs) along with your 5 kg cabin piece.
Travelers looking at alternative Colombian carriers can compare these allowances against our guide to the Wingo baggage policy, which operates mainline Boeing 737 aircraft with different fare tiers.
| Fare category | Cabin allowance | Checked bag allowance | Weight cap per checked piece |
|---|---|---|---|
| Promotional / Light | 1 piece (5 kg / 11 lbs) | 0 kg included | 15 kg (33 lbs) if purchased |
| Standard / Classic | 1 piece (5 kg / 11 lbs) | 1 piece included | 15 kg (33 lbs) |
| Flexible | 1 piece (5 kg / 11 lbs) | 1 piece included | 15 kg (33 lbs) |
Always review your ticket confirmation before departure, as promotional fare names and baggage inclusions can vary by sales channel.
Excess, Overweight, and Additional Baggage Fees
If your suitcase weighs more than 15 kg, or if your ticket does not include checked luggage, you will face extra baggage charges at the airport.
Overweight Bags (Per-Kilogram Charges)
Clic Air does not assess flat-rate penalties for overweight luggage. Instead, bags weighing over the 15 kg allowance are billed per extra kilogram.
- Charges are calculated at the airport check-in desk in Colombian Pesos (COP).
- Acceptance of overweight luggage is never guaranteed. If a flight operates at its maximum takeoff weight, the airline may refuse bags heavier than the base allowance.
- Single bags exceeding 23 kg to 32 kg are rarely accepted due to ground-handling safety rules and turboprop hold limits.
To see how per-kilogram billing compares to flat-rate airline excess fees, read our checked baggage fee comparison.
Purchasing Additional Checked Bags
Passengers needing more hold space can buy an extra 15 kg checked piece. Purchasing extra luggage online via the Clic Air website before heading to the airport is cheaper than paying at the check-in desk.
| Condition | Threshold | Additional fee | Acceptance limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overweight bag | 15.1 kg to maximum limit | Charged per additional kilogram in COP | Subject to ATR cargo weight availability |
| Additional checked bag | Second piece up to 15 kg | Fixed fee (lower online, higher at desk) | Subject to ATR cargo volume availability |
| Oversized bag | Exceeding 158 linear cm | Assessed at check-in counter | Must fit ATR cargo door dimensions |
Regional Route and Aircraft Realities
Flying on regional routes across Colombia involves unique operating conditions. Clic Air connects capital cities with small, remote destinations such as Nuquí, Bahía Solano, Tolú, and Puerto Asís. Many of these airports feature short runways or sit at high elevations with high temperatures.
Payload Restrictions
Under hot-and-high conditions, an aircraft cannot carry as much weight. When temperatures rise or a runway is short, Clic Air must cap the total weight of passengers, fuel, and cargo.
If a flight reaches its payload ceiling:
- Excess baggage acceptance is immediately halted.
- Non-essential cargo may be offloaded and routed on the next available flight.
- Passengers with overweight bags may be required to repack or leave items behind.
Planeside Baggage Return (Valet Check)
Because the ATR cabin does not accommodate standard rollaboards, gate checking is standard practice. When boarding from the tarmac, ground staff take larger carry-on bags at the aircraft stairs and place them in the cargo hold.
Depending on the arrival airport, gate-checked bags are handled in one of two ways:
- Planeside delivery: Ground crew place bags on a cart directly beside the aircraft stairs for passengers to collect upon deplaning.
- Carousel return: Bags are delivered to the standard baggage claim belt inside the terminal.
Special Items: Infants, Mobility Aids, Sports, and Pets
Infant Equipment
Passengers traveling with an infant (a child under 2 years old sitting on an adult's lap) do not receive an additional checked bag allowance for the infant. However, Clic Air transports one fully collapsible stroller or infant car seat free of charge. You can push the stroller to the aircraft boarding door, where ramp staff will check it into the hold.
Mobility Aids and Wheelchairs
In accordance with Colombian civil aviation regulations (Aeronáutica Civil / RAC), manual wheelchairs, crutches, and approved walking aids are carried free of charge in the cargo compartment. If you use an electric wheelchair, notify the airline at least 48 hours before departure. Ground staff must verify the battery chemistry (spillable vs. non-spillable) and disconnect it safely before loading.
Sporting Gear and Musical Instruments
Small musical instruments that weigh under 5 kg and fit inside the cabin luggage envelope can be carried aboard in place of your personal item.
Larger items-such as guitars in hard cases, surfboards, diving gear, and bicycles-must travel in the hold. Because the ATR cargo door has fixed physical limits, large equipment must be pre-registered with Clic Air. Standard excess baggage fees and sports equipment handling charges apply.
Traveling With Pets
Clic Air permits small domestic dogs and cats in the passenger cabin or hold on selected routes:
- In-Cabin Pets: Pets must travel in an approved soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat in front of you. The combined weight of the pet and carrier must remain within the airline's weight limit.
- Cargo Hold Pets: Larger animals must travel in a rigid IATA-compliant kennel.
- Documentation: You must provide an official veterinary certificate of health and an up-to-date vaccination record (including rabies) issued within the timeframe required by Colombian authorities. Space is strictly limited on each flight, so reserve pet transport early.
Handling Noncompliant Bags
Avoid packing surprises by knowing what happens if your bag exceeds published thresholds:
- At the Check-In Desk: If your bag exceeds 15 kg, the check-in agent will weigh it, calculate the extra kilograms, and direct you to pay the per-kilogram fee in COP before issuing your boarding pass.
- At the Boarding Gate: Gate staff monitor cabin pieces. If your personal bag exceeds 5 kg or cannot fit under the seat, staff will remove it for hold loading. If your fare does not include a checked bag, you will be charged an airport gate handling fee.
- Handling Valuables: Never pack lithium batteries, power banks, prescription medicine, jewelry, or critical travel documents in luggage that might be gate-checked. Turboprop cargo holds do not allow spare lithium batteries due to fire regulations.
Clic Air Baggage Preparation Checklist
Follow these practical packing steps before traveling on Clic Air regional flights across Colombia.
- Pack for a 15 kg limit, not 23 kg. Weigh your checked suitcase before leaving your home or hotel to avoid paying per-kilo excess fees at the airport.
- Use a soft backpack or duffel for the cabin. Rigid rollaboards do not fit in ATR turboprop overhead racks and will be checked into the cargo hold.
- Keep all electronics and medications on your person. If ramp staff gate-check your cabin bag on the tarmac, you must remove power banks, cameras, and vital medicine first.
- Pre-purchase extra luggage online. Adding checked bags through the Clic Air website costs significantly less than paying at airport check-in counters.
- Arrive at the terminal early. Check-in counters at regional Colombian airports close 45 to 60 minutes before departure, and processing excess baggage payments takes extra time.
- Carry Colombian Pesos or local cards. Some remote regional airstrips experience connectivity drops on credit card terminals, making cash a reliable backup for baggage fees.
